I am a newbie with Axis2, and I have a number of questions, Before you
rip off my head and show it to me. let me explain myself first:
1) I have been developing for nearly 20 years, the last 10 have been in
Java/J2EE
2) I have used Apache and Tomcat for years.
3) I have used Axis and developed Web-Services with Apache ... I don't
recall needing a Servlet container like Tomcat.
4) Yes I have been reading the documentation and googling, and reading
the mailing list archives of which I am now subscribed to.
So, my situation is that I have a Windows laptop/desktop system. I
want to use Web-Services and certainly not IIS or other Microsoft
Technologies.
I want to use Axis2 which I download, extracted, and setup the home
directory with the environmental variables. The JDK 1.6 was previously
installed and working.
I ran the Axis2Server.Bat and it is running fine. Do I still need a
Servlet Container like Tomcat? If I run Axis2 as a stand-alone, do I
need Apache at all.
I don't really need a a full servlet container or full http server.
So, I imagine the standalone Axis2 should work for me to do Web-Services.
The documentation seemed to say I still needed to build the war file and
deploy it into web-apps, but I'm thinking that would only be the case if
I was Axis2 under some
other App Server or Servlet Container.
Ultimately ... I am gonna have a PDA using Microsoft Technologies as a
web-services client. The PDA will send data to the Web-Service under Axis2.
The Web-Services I hope to deploy to Axis2 will be written in Java since
that is what I know. The Web-Service (written in Java) will then open
to an
Access database to read/write data and return information in the request
back to the PDA.
Please point me to starting resources for Axis2 web-site, and again can
you answer some of those questions above. Thanks!
Tom
